    __Dylan Kenyon (Waldo)__ On being Waldo: "I get to photobomb and nobody gets mad. Every picture I can, I'm flying in the background. Everybody's here to have a good time, and I have yet to get in trouble. They're just like, "Dude, that's awesome!" and they usually ask for a picture just of me."

    __Andrea and David Alegria__ Andrea on the Alegria family tradition: "It's our fourth Comic-Con. The first time, it was my brother's birthday, and we thought, 'we need to go at least once, we live in Southern California, let's do it!' We got tickets for his birthday, and then we fell in love with the fun, and with the insanity. We thrive on the chaos."

    __Travis Alegria (Michaelangelo)__ I grew up with comic books. I gave them to Noah when he came of age—but really, none of us will buy a comic book while we're here. It's the celebrities and the madness that brings us to it. We're all pop-culture nuts, so we like all of it."

    __Yoni Baker, 33 (Khal Drogo, Kinda)__ On half-accurate cosplay: "It's sort of Khal Drogo-ish. It's a Middle Eastern riding costume, which really fits that character, and then I have a beard, so I sort of went with that."
